Abstract

With several different dosages of multi-walled CNTs which was 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5% of the weight of binder, the fluidity in fresh CNT cement composites, as well as the strength and strength development with age of the hardened composites were investigated in this experimental study. The experimental results from flow test indicated that the increase in the dosage of CNTs badly impacted on the workability of fresh composites, and the results from rheological measurements presented the decrease in plastic viscosity and the increase in yield stress according to the amount of CNTs. In addition, the thixotrophy in the flow curve obtained from the rheology test was observed more noticeably in the composites with higher dosage of CNTs. With the experiments on the strength properties, the improvement of both compressive and tensile strengths with the increase of CNTs dosage could be obtained. Moreover, early strength development by adding CNTs was found when it was compared with plain cementious matrix without CNT.

이 연구에서는 다중벽 탄소나노튜브(Multi-walled CNT) 혼입량을 Binder 중량 대비 0.1, 0.3, 0.5%로 다르게 하여 CNT 혼입량에 따른 CNT 보강 시멘트 복합체의 굳지 않은 상태에서의 유동특성, 강도 및 강도발현 특성 등을 살펴보았다. 유동특성에 대한 실험결과, CNT 혼입량이 증가함에 따라 굳기 전 상태의 작업성이 저하되는 것으로 나타났으며, 레올로지 실험에서는 CNT 혼입량 증가에 따라 소성점도의 감소와 항복응력의 증가를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 레올로지 실험에서 얻은 흐름곡선에서는 낮은 전단속도에서의 틱소트로피 현상이 높은 CNT 혼입량에서 더욱 뚜렷하게 나타나는 것을 볼 수 있었다. CNT 혼입량 증가에 따른 강도특성 실험결과에서는 압축강도 및 인장강도 모두 CNT 혼입량이 증가함에 따라 향상되는 것으로 나타났으며, 압축강도에 대한 CNT 보강에 따른 강도향상 효과가 인장강도에 비해 더 크게 나타났다. 한편 재령별 강도 측정 결과에 따르면 CNT 혼입이 초기강도 발현에도 효과적인 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
